    Are we all 'skinny challenged' compared to the world?

    When my aunt discusses how fat my uncle is or how red my face is I tell her "we don't discuss other people's bodies" and she instantly changes the subject. I'll say it for everyone here from someone who is sick of hearing about people who are too fat, too skinny, too whatever; we don't talk...

    Teen Debit Card Suggestions?

    As an adult I do not use a debit card at all and I would never give one to a child. I have heard so many horror stories about debit cards, even those who are geared towards kids that have supposed safeguards. I also work in online retail and I handle frantic inquiries from people who don't...

    What's your view when you're on the toilet?

    My dad had a window put over the toilet in the en suite bathroom so he could have a view of the lake.

    Soooo......my Mom is dying.

    I'm so sorry Kitty. Lost my dad 3 years ago and as terrible and tragic as it was, his time had come. There was a certain beauty and peace to it that I'm glad I was able to receive and comprehend. I hooe you have that too.

    What age were you when you really started to notice aging looks wise?

    I had to go to the dermatologist a few years ago and the exam room had posters for fillers with the before and after photos and closeups highlighting problem areas. I really could have done without that because now what I would have never had noticed or cared about before I started noticing on...

    DAS registration wait time

    I just waited about 70 minutes to do my video chat. It did time out on me twice, but went right back to where I was in line after refreshing my browser. I am a bit disappointed I couldn't change the size of the chat window or the text as I have a visual disability, but I did get by. The video...

    Amazon Smile program discontinued

    At one of the companies I was a buyer for I spent lots of money with Amazon and my Smile went to an honor flight. They would get about $500/year from us which was cool because that was the cost per veteran to go to Washington D.C. Pretty Grinchy to take money away from veterans, kids and...

    Fly Infestation

    I had a fly infestation about 2 years ago and it was absolutely disgusting. I ended up making some traps by putting apple cider vinegar in plastic cups and making funnels to put in them with by making a cone out of paper. It took about 24 hours for them to really start getting attracted to the...

    I lost my husband

    Oh gosh. I am so sorry. We all have let things go unnoticed or just didn't realize. I'm sitting here next to my mother right now who was just diagnosed with cancer yesterday and we are second guessing everything we've done in the last year. Same with my dad when he was sick, why didn't we notice...

    Suggestions for dealing with school

    No tact required. Just plainly say you expect to be called and do it in writing, preferably via email. Regardless of your approach, you are going to get a carefully worded response crafted by their attorney because of the broken arm.

    Increase In Teen Boys Targeted for Extortion on Social Media

    OP here. The extortionist had already sent the explicit material to one of the young man's friends. The friend told the young man's parents after he found out he had died. You are right, these are criminals, professional ones at that.

    Increase In Teen Boys Targeted for Extortion on Social Media

    We had a terrible tragedy in my town last week. A 17 year old boy was targeted on Instagram by scammers who were pretending they were a teenage girl. They got him to provide explicit videos/photo and than demanded money or they would send them to his parents and Instagram followers. Instead of...

    Disney apologizes for cheer routine

    Our local high school has a mascot name is the Redmen. At first was related to the red sweaters the team members wore back in the 20's, but morphed into a stereotypical Indian in a headdress mascot that was used for decades. In the late 90's as a compromise the school dropped the mascot, but...

    slo’s MONDAY poll - Lotion

    I kinda hate applying lotion and think most lotion is kind of gross. I do moisturize my face nearly daily, but my skin has become so sensitive I have to be careful of what I use.

    Kelly or Whitney?

    Whitney had natural talent. Kelly has raw talent and you can tell she has worked her butt off to become one of the most technically proficient singers out there today she is just phenomenal. Whitney for sure sang it better though, when she could, actually string the whole song together without...
